I have been on dating apps for a year now, I had some casual flings but no serious relationships.

I have recently put on 20 pounds because my PCOS is flaring up and I have kept my online dating accounts running and updated my pictures for the sake of transparency. I noticed I don't match with anybody anymore and the ones I match with treat me like a sex worker who should pleasure them with nothing in return.

I feel unwanted. I've always struggled with this feeling since childhood but dating has been very triggering. I even posted on r/r4r and whenever me and the people I talk to exchange pictures I get ghosted or rejected. I understand that physical attraction is important but rejection after rejection, the feeling of not being desired or being treated like a toy is getting to me.

I'm not even looking for a relationship anymore, I just want cute dates, I want to feel wanted even just for one evening without it necessarily being a hookup.

What should I do? Should I stop dating until I lose weight?

I mean it's obvious what they want, but I can't believe the disrespect. What am I? A SW? And it's happened more than once in the different countries I've lived in or travelled to😂

I know the job market is a dumpster fire but omg, I think I'm gonna need to see my therapist more often.

I've been applying for months. I studied international relations and law (yes I know, I'm basically unemployable) and I've found a short-term gig but the contract is nearly over and I want to be a full-time researcher so bad!

Back in December a company replied to my application. They made me do a 3-hour assignment and they told me the preliminary feedback was positive, then they hired someone else.

I don't know what to do with myself. I decided to put the "open to work" banner on linkedin and make a post asking my network for help, despite how cringy it feels.

I should have gotten an MBA.

Moved to the west of Ireland in February and I haven't met (romantically that is) anyone interesting yet.

Most men here are either taken or emotionally unavailable in my experience. I'm not Irish so it's all new to me, and I admit I had a romanticized notion of Ireland (I still love it), but it can't be that bad, can it?

I know Ireland is very small but there must be an eligible bachelor in the neighborhood 🥴

If you like full-figured women, are between the ages of 26 and 35 and live in Ireland, don't be shy and drop me a message.

This is not my first r4r post, so if you've DMed me and I haven't replied it's probably because you are way too far.

After yet another mind-numbing conversation on bumble I'm here again, trying not to completely lose hope.

I've been looking for jobs and I don't know what's more depressing, the dating scene or the job market. So please somebody help a girl out!

Plus size, funny and unhinged, this is more or less me. The funny part is questionable, the plus size part is important since physical attraction can't be forced, so I understand people who like fitter women, no offence taken.

I like dad bods but the personality and chemistry is much more important.

Hobbies mmm 🤔 it's always a tough question because I've been so busy that I kinda end up bed rotting and scrolling on my phone but I mostly go to gigs, read and watch movies.

I'm not very active, but I'm trying to change that, although realistically I will never be a gym rat, so be warned.

Kinda trying to find someone before nuclear annihilation wipes us out. So don't be shy and be weird within reason pls, I've had some creepy stuff happen in my DMs😭
